Re:VCC 0944
VCC 944 (NGC 4417).This galaxy has a thin edge-on blue stellar disk, aligned
with the main body. There appears to be a faint nucleus, both from the color
image and from the g-band surface brightness profile.

NGC 4417 is located about 1.5 deg north of
the center of Virgo subcluster B, which is
centered on NGC 4472 (Binggeli, Tammann, and
Sandage 1987).
The morphology of NGC 4417 is a milder
case of the "peanut-center" morphology of NGC
1175 (panel 40), NGC 3203 (this page), and
NGC 4215 (this page). There is no strong
evidence for the presence of the ansae or for a
decrease in luminosity in the intermediate region
between the center and the beginning of the disk.
Hence, the morphological subtype is S0_1_ rather
than S0_2_.
